This has got to be one of the most (if not THE most) bizarre video clips I’ve ever seen, not to mention the first recorded instance of anyone “Ghost-riding” his or her respective “whip.”

ghost-ride /goʊst‧raɪd/ - verb, -rode; -rid‧den; -rid‧ing
1. To dance next to or on top of your hood while the car is still moving, ideally with many friends and with hip-hop music.

Most people believe ghostriding to have originated in Oakland, CA at sydeshows and through the music of E-40, Mac Dre and other Bay Area rappers, but here is proof that Werner Herzog and German midgets invented ghostriding. This clip, from Herzog’s 1970 film, Even Dwarfs Started Small, is aptly set to Mister F.A.B.’s Bay Area Classic, “Ghostride It.”
